| Feed the kittens in the kitchen | |
| Set food out for the strays | |
| Try hard to do your best | |
| The magpie will have his way | |
| Fill your mouth with berries | |
| By the full light of the moon | |
| Work all night if you have to | |
| The magpie comes at noon | |
| Shore up the crucifixes | |
| Above the archeways and the doors | |
| The magpie will come at midday | |
| And you will go down on all fours | |
| And when the cherry's white with blossoms | |
| Be ready and be brave | |
| And remember what we had here | |
| When there was something left to save |
